I remained active in the field of psychology during my studies as a Behavior Consultant to children with Autism Spectrum Disorders as well as other developmental disorders. I then practiced as a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern at Hearts and Hands Counseling in Roseville. I completed 3,000 hours in 2014, and became licensed with the Board of Behavioral Sciences in 2015. I have experience in counseling individuals, couples, and children with a wide range of issues. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma, childhood behavior issues, and parenting. What I recognize in all people is the need for a nonjudgmental person to share their story with. It is my goal as a quality therapist to always provide an open mind and heart. In my session I will provide a safe place to work on parenting as a team!
